Description
Enhance your vision system with our high-performance 1.8mm M12 Fisheye Lens. Featuring a 165° ultra-wide field of view (D) and compatible with 1/3″ sensors, this compact board lens provides an expansive overview with no blind spots. Engineered with a 6G (6-layer all-glass) optical construction and a bright F2.0 aperture, it delivers reliable, clear video capture even in challenging environments. Whether you are upgrading automotive rear-view cameras, CCTV security systems, or smart video doorbells, this mini fixed-focal lens offers the perfect balance of compact size (Φ14×13.6mm) and wide-angle performance.
Key Highlights
-
- 165° Ultra-Wide Blind-Spot Elimination: The 1.8mm focal length offers a 165-degree diagonal field of view, capturing entire rooms or wide outdoor areas without panning.
- 6G All-Glass Optical Precision: Built with 6 layers of premium glass to withstand temperature fluctuations, preventing thermal drift and maintaining clear imaging in harsh environments.
- Compact M12 Mount Integration: Micro dimensions of Φ14×13.6mm and standard M12x0.5 threading allow seamless fitment into tight enclosures and low-profile housings.
- Bright F2.0 Aperture for Low Light: Maximizes light intake onto the 1/3″ VGA sensor, ensuring bright and usable footage during twilight or shaded daytime conditions.

Applications & Compatibility
Core Application Scenarios
This wide-angle M12 lens is specifically optimized for applications demanding an expansive field of view within restricted installation spaces. It excels in automotive backup cameras and 360-degree surround-view systems, where detecting nearby obstacles is critical for safety. Additionally, its ultra-wide coverage makes it ideal for smart IoT video doorbells, apartment intercom panels, and compact CCTV dashcams, allowing property owners to see individuals from head to toe at close range. The durable 6G glass build also ensures long-term stability in outdoor security pods and industrial robotics vision sensors exposed to varying weather.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Q: Will this 1.8mm lens fit my standard IP security camera?
-
- A: Yes, as long as your camera module uses a standard M12x0.5 board mount (S-mount) and utilizes a 1/3″ or smaller image sensor.
-
- Q: What does “-55% Distortion” mean for the image?
-
- A: This indicates a fisheye (barrel) distortion effect, which is normal and necessary to achieve the ultra-wide 165° field of view. It expands your peripheral vision significantly.
-
- Q: Is this lens made of plastic or glass?
-
- A: This lens features a 6G construction, meaning it is made entirely of 6 layers of high-quality glass. Glass lenses offer superior heat resistance and clarity over plastic lenses.
-
- Q: Does this M12 lens have an integrated IR-cut filter?
-
- A: This is a standard optical lens. Depending on your day/night color requirements, an external IR-cut switcher can be placed behind the lens holder.
-
- Q: Can I use this lens with a 1/2.8″ or 1/2.7″ sensor?
-
- A: Because it is designed for a 1/3″ image format, using it on a larger 1/2.8″ sensor may result in dark corners (vignetting). We recommend sticking to 1/3″ or smaller formats.
-
- Q: Is this lens weather-resistant for automotive use?
-
- A: The glass elements tolerate extreme temperatures well. When properly sealed within an IP67/IP69K camera housing, it is perfect for automotive rear-view applications.
